Started building in about 1977/8 a on average '52 A10 -built from bits 'n pieces never resto intended -maybe 'personalised'Have a '74 850T Moto Guzzi since '92-best thing I ever bought doesn't need a kickstart 'cos it bump starts sooooooooo(mostly) easyAustralia

yes greybeard 1948 morris eight series E that unfortunately will have to go to pastures new in the near future to finance the BSA featherybed project carn't hang on to them all

I bought a 1948 Series E in the early '70's. I paid £40 for it and sold it a couple of years later for £180. It would be funny, but unlikely, if it was the same vehicle you own. I know there are photographs somewhere; they may well show the reg number.

greybeard I do know the number is non transferable ,it says so on the V5C all the paper work I got with it from the morris register says it was the last of the 2 door--- a mistake I think as the log book says 4 door which it is. it is now all roadworthy but was last on the road in 1975 owned by a mrs singh gill of surrey who passed away and her garage owner husband put it at the back of the garage. it was rescued in 2008 by a chap in kent called mr russell who was morris register national rally organiser .then a year later it was bought by the late mr harris a colleague of mr russell . mr harris ' widow sold it to a mr childs in 2014, then my mate keith got it then I got it. I think the reg had to be claimed from the old buff log book because there is a letter from DVLA dated 2015 referring to a request to register it under the old number and they have sent his £25 fee back saying they have registered it under the original number having been satisfied with all the old paper work and correspondence from the morris register people , so reg is its first one retained----HDG 317

A bit of a tail. I joined a newly formed Mensshed group in the hope of learning some new skills (mainly to help with the bikes so lathes etc.) Anyway, we have a ‘workshop’ in a local small museum but most of the initial work is going to be woodwork. So I looked for something to do within the group and had seen this 1938 James van but not noticed it was a three wheeler, It’s a motorcycle and I like motorcycles. I asked the museum about it and it had not been run for two years and they had nobody to maintain it. So despite having projects of my own I offered (damik). Have shown a few people what things are and checked her over and yesterday started her for the first time. Started third swing and ran very nicely. In the picture I am draining the petrol as she will not be 'used' till the spring.
